People are Reading! How Excting!

Hi everyone!
So my friend Jamie told me more about how my blog-thingy works...how cool! People do read it! (Not that I didn't believe you, but I've had almost 340 hits to my little goofy blog! Fun!!)


Now I feel pressure. :O

Not why I'm blogging today. I'm blogging because I have a couple more picture of my new living room to show. I was a little embarrassed at my lack of pictures from last post so this morning when I sent new ones to mom, I thought I'd come up here and post them for all to see. :) Again, the house is coming along little by little. In fact, we have people from Lowes coming today to give us a carpet estimate! Thank God. I will also try to take a couple pictures of upstairs as well to show the new lack of boxes. Since there aren't many 'before pics', you'll have to just trust me that we've come a LONG way. The loft was the place we threw all the unpacked boxes that were  not pressing....most are now gone!! What's left is mainly boxes of books we can't put on the shelves we don't currently have. HUGE improvement! (Also, the box of toys at the other end of the loft...I take care of our friend's little girl here at the house one day a week and she needs something to do. No, we are not hiding children from anyone. Sorry to disappoint...Marzullos...) ;)

And since I am name dropping, Lynne, apparently there IS a way for you to be notified when I do new posts. (And not just when I call you out on Facebook) I have to set it up somehow. So anyone who signs up as a follower will get the updates. For those of you who are signed up as followers who do not want to receive an update email, I'm sorry... I don't know if I can pick and choose... I'm still learning this new fancy thing.

One more thing before I post pictures. This is Homecoming week for the schools! So Luke has to dress up for the different days. (Except yesterday because he was at 'All District' with the high school kids and he'd look a little odd dressed as a nerd...) And he slipped out so quietly this morning that I don't know what he dressed as today. Twin day? Maybe? I know he told me. There was 'Nerd Day', 'Twin Day', 'Sports Day' and 'Spirit Day'? I can't remember the last two. Anyway, it's a fun week! The homecoming game is this Friday. Go Dragons!
I'm excited because tonight (and I should be doing some of it now) I am going to the school to help Luke decorate his classroom. Because they just redid the classroom, they just finished putting up the bulletin boards and smart and white boards so we can finally make it fun and classroom-like! I LOVE decorating classrooms! (With the excepting of contact paper.... I HATE contact paper...) And I have so much stuff left over from KinderCare that we don't even need to buy anything! Even better!

Man, even when I try to be short I ramble...ADHD... sorry. ;)

Have a fabulous day and I'll get to posting the pictures!

My new rug! I LOVE this rug! (And Kylie of course!)

My purple wall next to my tan wall! So pretty!

View from the loft - left corner.

This is the 'office' side of the loft. It's a mess right now because this is my current project.

This will eventually be our library/reading area. My papasan chair will go here as well as short, long bookshelves. Luke will either get a recliner or some other comfy chair for himself. I cannot wait to see how it looks!

This is the other side of the loft. Eventually this will be closed off and made into another room. About 3 days ago this entire area was boxes and bins. Gone. Phew!

This video is just for fun. Remember, this is the dog that was returned for being "too calm and cat-like". Oy.

Also, turns out I downloaded all the past videos wrong! That's why no one could see them! I'll go back and redo them. So if you'd like to check them out, they should be fixed shortly.
